Self-described as “a collaborative project between a Byzantine chanter, a classical organist, a NOLA-trained jazz drummer, and a utility man of hitherto inexhaustible potential,” must-know local outfit The Mute Group have been crafting some of the most interesting, artistic, and genre-bending music to come out of the Nashville scene since first coming together a couple years…
